The Furukawa DCR20 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a down-the-hole drill or DTH drill — a type of rotary percussion drilling machine used in surface mining, quarrying, and construction applications for boring blast holes and production holes into rock and hard ground. Furukawa is a well-established manufacturer of rock drilling and demolition equipment, supplying machinery to the mining, quarrying, and construction industries worldwide.
This 2013 machine is configured as a DTH-class drill, meaning it uses a down-the-hole hammer driven by compressed air to deliver high-frequency percussive blows directly at the drill bit face, enabling efficient penetration through hard rock formations. Power comes from a Caterpillar C-13 Tier III diesel engine, a well-regarded heavy-duty powerplant commonly found in demanding off-highway applications. The drill is set up for 4-inch drill pipe, defining the rod size and compatible tooling for the machine's current working configuration.
Rod handling is managed by a joystick-operated carousel-style rod changer, which allows the operator to add or remove drill rods from an enclosed control position, improving both efficiency and safety during rod changes. A water-injection system is fitted to suppress dust and cool the drill string at the hole collar, while a cyclone dust collector provides a secondary dust management solution, capturing fine particulate generated during drilling operations. Together these systems help maintain a cleaner working environment and support compliance with site dust-control requirements.
The machine is located in Kentucky, USA, and is offered in used condition.
